The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed.

qMake sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.

qMake sure your PCI BIOS is current. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.

qMake sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2† does not.

qTry reseating the add in adapter.

The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause.

qTry reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.

qThe network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers.

qRun the diagnostics.

PCI Installation Tips

Some common PCI tips are listed here.

qReserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for ISA adapters. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings ISA cards are using. Use the SSU to keep track of ISA adapter resources.

qCertain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. The SSU can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices. For certain drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.

Problems with Application Software

If you have problems with application software, do the following:

qVerify that the software is properly configured for the system. See the software installation and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.

qTry a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.

qMake sure all cables are installed correctly.

qVerify that the server board jumpers are set correctly. See Chapter 5.

qIf other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software. If the problem persists, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative for help.

Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected

Check the following:

qIs the BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device?
